Why Women Cry


A little boy asked his mother, 'Why are you crying?' 'Because I'm a woman,' she told him.

'I don't understand,' he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, 'And you never will.'

Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?'

'All women cry for no reason,' was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, 'God, why do women cry so easily?'

God said:

'When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue with out complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.'

'You see my son,' said God, 'the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.'

1. That's supposed to boost my self-esteem?

What the hell?

2. Doesn't it make you happy to know you're a broodmare

And exist to support your husband and children? :eyes:

[lizerdbits]

3. Exactly what I was thinking!

Guess I need to go get a husband and have some kids so I can have some self esteem. Oh wait, I have plenty without it. :eyes:

4. Sentimental Claptrap To Enjoy Your Oppression By.

No wonder I haven't won the lottery yet, I never forward this shit.

5. So, in other words...

...god made women codependent?

Given that most western religions seem to exist solely to bolster males and tell women they are nothing more than wombs and servants of children and men, this is how I cut through all the other bullshit. :eyes:

6. Oh, my self-esteem was SO boosted by reading that.

Mostly by thinking how much better off I am than the person who wrote it (at least intellectually).

7. Just give me 2 minutes with that brat and

he'll get to understand crying for himself.

8. I gave her a stove to stand in front of

when she's barefoot and pregnant.

I gave her a husband to think for her so she can be seen and not heard.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the responsibility and blame for men's behavior.

10. I hope you forwarded it to the Human Resources Dept.

It contributes to illegal hostile environment discrimination based on gender and possibly on religion.
